PTI leaders criticise interior minister’s ‘helplessness’

ISLAMABAD (NNI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry has expressed satisfaction with the way things are proceeding in the accountability court hearing corruption cases against the Sharif family.

Speaking to media on Monday after Nawaz’s hearing, he said he wonders whether the interior minister is a police officer that he went to the court today.

Similarly, PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the interior minister should not threaten to resign and instead just resign.

PTI’s Babar Awan said Iqbal needs to identify clearly “the state within a state”. He said either the Nawaz government will remain or the rule of law. Awami Muslim League leader Sheikh Rasheed said that from today, the 120-day countdown has begun.

Meanwhile, Pakistan Peoples Party’s senior leader Nisar Khuhro demanded a clarification on the Rangers’ issue.

He said the presence of Rangers outside the accountability court shows the weakness of the government. He said it is against principles of politics for Nawaz Sharif to lead the party.
